Description
This book develops an integrated hermeneutic that connects the Bible to spiritual formation and the development of Christian virtues. The author shows how the whole Bible can be understood as a wisdom text that directs its readers morally, shapes them in their deepest affections and convictions, and impacts how they look at the world and live in it. Offering an innovative hermeneutical approach, it will serve as an ideal supplement to standard hermeneutics textbooks.

J. de Waal Dryden’s writing is clear and stimulating. He’s able to juggle with the writings of people such as Ricoeur, Gadamer and Charles Taylor and make it accessible to most readers. At the same time, the author is bringing refreshing ideas to the discipline of hermeneutics, while being respectful to the text itself. His arguments are convincing and he aptly demonstrated that the whole Bible should be read as wisdom literature. The book could be used to complete a general introduction to hermeneutics in a classroom.
